@PPaulCharles @ThePCAgency Let’s hope so

[Miles Morgan @MMTMan]

Congratulations to @UKHospKate on getting further specific sector support for hospitality, I only wish the outbound travel industry could get the same support, actually any support. We are forgotten and I for one will not forget it, my staff deserve better #savetravel @RishiSunak

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

And what about the poor travel sector you are so quick to impact and no help again ?

[STV News @STVNews]

Nicola Sturgeon has said her 'heart breaks' for hospitality businesses who have had a 'sucker-punch' so close to Christmas. https://t.co/32c4vjMpyL

“All of a sudden we’ve got a green list, a green watch list, an amber list, an amber plus list. It just goes on and on and it’s just an absolute shambles”

@lahtravel owner Linda Hill Miller discusses Covid travel restrictions. #TheNine

[Julia Lo Bue-Said OBE @jlo_said]

£4.95 for a PCR test? Secretary of State says these are available for people traveling from a government approved supplier. On the gov. website? This shows you then how much people are being ripped off #Testing #Travel

[Andrew Bowie MP @AndrewBowie_MP]

Today is the #TravelDayOfAction. I was delighted to meet @lindahillWK at Westminster today. The industry has been abandoned by the Scottish Government. We need a whole UK approach to reopening international travel & appropriate levels of support for an sector under such pressure

[Linda Hill Miller @lindahillWK]

@lornagreens where are you seeing travel agents promoting holidays !! You have to be joking our industry is destroyed and our government do not care your comments are unhelpful and wrong #savefuturetravel #keeptravelalive

[Paul Charles @PPaulCharles]

Well said @SirGrahamBrady - opaque indeed.

[Paul Charles @PPaulCharles]

Hardly the great surge in daily infections in popular parts of #Europe that #UKGov would have you believe. What is the vaccine for if you can’t travel to such low-risk areas? @ThePCAgency

[ScotlandTonight @ScotlandTonight]

As the Scottish Government announces that Scots looking to travel abroad will be able to access proof of their vaccination status, will summer holidays be on or off?

Is the government messaging clear enough? @lindahillWK & @SimonCalder join us to discuss.

Today I’m taking further steps to support airlines as we head into Summer ✈️. Extending the slots waiver will mean that airlines can restart services as soon as it’s safe, while preventing environmentally damaging ghost flights https://t.co/OJduvNmpD7

The #SaveFutureTravelCoalition comprises the vast majority of travel agents, TMCs, tour operators & cruise lines.

Hi @RishiSunak with the increased quarantine measures and further restrictions on travel - due to the pandemic - our industry is being even more decimated - when we will see tailored financial support in order to keep travel alive for when it is safe to do so! #keeptravelalive

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

We sent a message last week to @FergusEwingMSP & @FionaHyslop in regards to the travel industry needing some urgent sector specific support - can someone come back to us on this? #SNP20 #SNP2020 we need to #keeptravelalive

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

How is everyone today? Hopefully we should receive a response soon from @FergusEwingMSP in relation to the questions that were asked to the Scottish Government at Holyrood on Wednesday in relation to support for our travel sector #keeptravelalive

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

Yesterday in Scotlands Parliament @GLindhurstMSP asked @FionaHyslop questions in regards to support for the travel industry - here is the reply to the questions. @FergusEwingMSP please engage with us soon to discuss this proposed support. #keeptravelalive

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

@grantshapps This is great for those that can afford it but it is unfair

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

News from the Transport Sec this morning...what are peoples thoughts on this?

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

✈️ TEST TO RELEASE FOR INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS ✈️

We’re cutting the self-isolation period by two thirds from 15 DECEMBER for passengers arriving into England. Taking a privately provided #COVID test on day five & receiving a negative result will end self-isolation.

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

Dear @AlokSharma_RDG can you advise why the latest covid support grants which are being distributed regionally do not include support for the travel industry? travel agents, tour operators etc - we are looking forward to hearing from you????

[Keep Travel Alive @KeepTravelAlive]

@grantshapps yes please tell us ?

[Mark Walter @WalWalt]

So @grantshapps what’s the plan sir? Excellent news and progression on a third vaccine today but when it comes, what are you doing to ensure we get moving across the world again? Covid travel certificates/passports? I’m not hearing much.
